Title: interfacing perfect 360 joysticks
Post by: mattv on November 20, 2002, 02:24:19 am
I know this question has been discussed before, at length, but I can't find any refrence to it and the board search engine turns up nothing.

So.

Is there any way to interface a perfect 360 joystick to your PC?

As far as I can see they run on five volts, which isn't a good start, so i'm guessing that you need some kind of special encoder.
What about a Jpac? I'm using one of those with my (non-perfect) controls at the moment and it works great. Can I simply plug the perfect 360 into that or will it destroy something

Any input appreciated, or a link to the old discussion would be great.

Matt
